How we help you

 

Wheelchair and equipment grants

The Joseph Patrick Trust (JPT), the welfare fund within the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, provides grants towards the costs of specialist equipment such as powered wheelchairs, adapted computers and electric beds, for children and adults.

Libby Smalley was surprised to be presented with a brand new powered wheelchair by Alexander Patrick at the 25th anniversary of the Joseph Patrick Trust,

The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign has awarded more than 6,000 grants, totalling more than £6million, towards specialist equipment such as powered wheelchairs in the last 25 years to children and adults, helping more than 5,000 children and adults with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular conditions to purchase specialist mobility equipment not available on the NHS.
